YouTube – A video sharing giant with an Alexa Rank 3 was founded 7 seven years back by three ex-PayPal guys viz., Steve Chen, Chad Hurley & Jawed Karim. Formed with a primary aim of providing users worldwide with a platform for uploading, viewing and sharing their favorite videos got its domain name registered on 14 Feb, 2005 – The Public Beta release to official release in December 2005. Since its merger with Google in Oct 6, 2006 it has no turning back and has gradually spread its roots to YouTube available in 54 different languages worldwide today.
With the first Video titled “Me at the zoo” at 8:27 PM on Saturday April 23rd, 2005 by Jawed himself, the site has strengthened its foundation to transform itself into a full blown video hosting solution for individual users as well as organisations & remarkable names like CBS, BBC, VEVO, Hulu, White House, Sony Music, Eros, Box Office, FTV and what not.
Hordes of features that followed since its release like the copyright policies, community standards, launch of YouTube HD (in Dec,2008), YouTube 3D (in July,2009), YouTube Mobile, Live streams & YouTube Movies were slowly inching YouTube towards its ultimate glory.
YouTube has stacked in records of many funny, heroic, dangerous and emotional events in these seven years with videos like “Charlie bit my finger again”, “29 yr old hearing herself for the first time”, “Chilean miner lifted to safety”, “High five for the first kiss” and many more.
Gadgetic World wishes a hearty and joyous Happy Birthday to a Company – a legend – YouTube that has 4 Billion + video views per day.
